Embodied by the bucking bronc on its license plates, Wyoming is a child's cowboy
fantasy come to life, with rodeos aplenty and dude ranches where even city slickers try their
hand at riding and roping. But what strikes people most about Wyoming is its authenticity.
The harsh climate and isolation that make Wyoming the least populated state in the union
result in an uncommon grace in its residents. It's expressed not just in the weathered creases
on their faces but in the way they do business and welcome visitors. There is glitz here
too, in places like Jackson Hole, but it doesn't detract from the essence of Wyoming. Those
towns are simply a flash of silver, the shiny buckle on a well-worn belt.
Separated by history, culture, and even politics, Montana and Wyoming are still ideal
neighbors, bound together by the forces of nature that make them so captivating.
